The Panasonic Lumix S5II launched the second generation of Panasonic’s full-frame mirrorless camera system and was the first Panasonic to feature phase detect autofocus. As our review reveals, it’s a heck of an all-around camera for both still and video shooters.

Yes, with the control ring. All 8 pins seem to have independent springs, and the force seems comparable to Canon lenses (but I didn't attempt to measure this). The adjacent pins didn't move.
OK - then it better than mine. As it seems also easier to mod (less material to remove), I'll have to get one of those. Disassembly is likely not an option, though.
Yes, you just need to remove the high ridge at the casting seam on the plastic baffle, and just around the contact pin bump. You can almost force the RF 1.4x rubber "nose" inside the adapter, but don't do it because it may be more difficult to separate them later. I just used an ordinary half-round file and a light touch--just enough to get the nose to fit inside. Then cleaned well with alcohol to remove any filings.
